Steps 4 and 5 will never happen.
On the one hand, Haber largely invented the Haber–Bosch process of synthesizing ammonia from nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas, which enabled the industrial-scale synthesis of fertilizers and explosives. About one-third of annual global food production uses ammonia from the Haber–Bosch process, supporting nearly half of the world's population. It seems to me that for this achievement, Haber definitely deserved the 1918 Nobel Prize for Chemistry.
What remains controversial about this decision was that Professor Haber is also widely regarded as the father of modern chemical warfare. A fierce German nationalist, he applied his genius to developing and weaponizing chlorine and other poisonous gases for the German military during World War I. His work directly resulted in the widespread practice of mustard gas attacks.
His wife, Clara Immerwahr, was so horrified by reports of the Second Battle of Ypres, where mustard gas resulted in 67,000 casualties, that it my have contributed to her decision to commit suicide with his service revolver.
Though Professor Haber always defended his work on chlorine gas weapons, it is a notable irony of history that his technology was used to develop Zyklon-B, which was later used for the mass murder of Jewish concentration camp inmates during the Nazi era. Haber was born into a prominent Jewish family in the Prussian city of Breslau.

There is no such thing as an 'interim Speaker'. There either is or isn't a Speaker.

Spoiler Alert the next speaker will be Kevin McCarthy.

Don't give a fuck who's next, won't make any difference. I only care about booting politicians, not instating them.
Wrong. Read that they have Representative Patrick Henry filling the role as temporary or interim Speaker.
